Which Assassin's Creed game is set during the American Revolution and stars Connor Kenway?

The story behind the answer

Assassin's Creed III is set during the American Revolution and stars Connor Kenway.

Connor's Mohawk name is Ratonhnhaké:ton, and he becomes involved in the conflict between Assassins and Templars while navigating the American colonies. The historical campaign includes Boston, New York, and frontier environments, with events spanning the revolutionary period.

The game was released in 2012 and introduced a new historical protagonist after the Ezio trilogy. Connor's story also continues the Kenway family line: his father is Haytham Kenway, who is Edward Kenway's son from Black Flag.

The title can be confused with Liberation, which was released in the same broad historical era and follows Aveline in Louisiana. Connor's main campaign, however, is the one tied directly to the American Revolution and its major colonial settings.
